Test listener doesn't allow to run from a specific step

Web Testing
1

Hi everyone, I’ve set a @BeforeTest method in the test listener to login with specific users in the test cases. But after this setting, I cannot run from a specific step in an open instance. It starts from the beginning and fails. Continue executing from a specific step helps a lot for using time effectively. What should I do? Is there something that I’m missing?
Here is my Login Hook, In test case level, I specify user type with a variable.

import static com.kms.katalon.core.testcase.TestCaseFactory.findTestCase
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testdata.TestDataFactory.findTestData
import static com.kms.katalon.core.testobject.ObjectRepository.findTestObject

import com.kms.katalon.core.context.TestCaseContext
import com.kms.katalon.core.context.TestSuiteContext

class LoginHook {
	@BeforeTestCase
	def loginUser(TestCaseContext testCaseContext) {
		// Check if it's a WebUI test
		if (testCaseContext.getTestCaseId().startsWith('Test Cases/WebUI')) {
			// Get the user type from test case variables
			def userType = testCaseContext.getTestCaseVariables().get('userType')
			
			// Open browser and navigate to the login page
			WebUI.openBrowser('')
			WebUI.navigateToUrl(GlobalVariable.URL)
			WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/Logining/Page_*** Login/h4_**Login'))
			
			// Get credentials based on user type
			def credentials = getUserCredentials(userType)
			
			// Login
			WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Object Repository/Logining/Page_***Login/input_email'), credentials.username)
			
			WebUI.setEncryptedText(findTestObject('Object Repository/Logining/Page_*** Login/input_password'), credentials.password)
			
			WebUI.click(findTestObject('Object Repository/Logining/Page_***Login/button_Log in'))
		}
	}
	
	private def getUserCredentials(String userType) {
		switch (userType.toLowerCase()) {
			case 'globaladmin':
				return [username: GlobalVariable.GAusername, password: GlobalVariable.GApassword]
			case 'distributorowner':
				return [username: GlobalVariable.DistributorOwner_username, password: GlobalVariable.DistributorOwner_password]
			case 'distributorreader':
				return [username: GlobalVariable.DistributorReader_username, password: GlobalVariable.DistributorReader_password]
			case 'tenantowner':
				return [username: GlobalVariable.TenantOwner_username, password: GlobalVariable.TenantOwner_password]
			case 'tenanteditor':
				return [username: GlobalVariable.TenantEditor_username, password: GlobalVariable.TenantEditor_password]
			case 'tenantreader':
				return [username: GlobalVariable.TenantReader_username, password: GlobalVariable.TenantReader_password]
			case 'tenantmember':
				return [username: GlobalVariable.TenantMember_username, password: GlobalVariable.TenantMember_password]
			case 'devicegroupowner':
				return [username: GlobalVariable.DG_owner_username, password: GlobalVariable.DG_owner_password]
			case 'devicegroupreader':
				return [username: GlobalVariable.DG_reader_username, password: GlobalVariable.DG_reader_password]
			case 'devicegroupeditor':
				return [username: GlobalVariable.DG_editor_username, password: GlobalVariable.DG_editor_password]
			default:
				throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid user type: ${userType}")
		}
	}
}

And here is one of example test case.Lets say If I want to execute after 2nd step, at the moment it starts from the beginning.


WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Common Objects/input_searchboxACL'), GlobalVariable.flatmeshGWmac)

WebUI.click(findTestObject('Common Objects/firstElementInTable'))

WebUI.click(findTestObject('Page_***/span_Status'))

WebUI.click(findTestObject('InfraGuard License/btn_Activate_License'))

WebUI.click(findTestObject('InfraGuard License/input_licenseKey'))

WebUI.setText(findTestObject('Object Repository/InfraGuard License/Page_***/part1_licenseKey'), GlobalVariable.expired_WOS_License)

WebUI.click(findTestObject('InfraGuard License/Page_***/button_Activate'))

WebUI.verifyTextPresent('Invalid License Key', false)

WebUI.click(findTestObject('InfraGuard License/Page_***/button_Cancel'))

WebUI.closeBrowser() ```

Please disclose your code.

Unless the code is disclosed to others, it is impossbile for the guys in this forum to discuss about the code.

I don’t understand what you mean by this sentence.

In this test, global admin user log in with test listener’s login functionality, and test continues with setting a GlobalVariable to input_searchboxACL. If I want to run the test with current opened browser instance, and right click after 3rd step ‘‘WebUI.click(findTestObject(‘Page_***/span_Status’))’’ and select ‘Run from here’, the test starts from login steps. And due to current instance is on another page, it fails. Hope this is more clear, if not I can share a video about it.
